Confession:
I am a little negative the past month, or should I say, disturbed about what I’ve been learning and what it means as to planning a future life that includes staying alive (not as a slave, either). I’m not using that word figuratively, in my case: I tangled with seeking help from the courts a very, very long time ago — and the net loss so far –well, the tab keeps running up, with or without an attorney on board.
I am only one person here, and not fully networked with people who are putting this together — where it’s heading. But I see their work, and could possibly boil it down to maybe FIVE total individuals’ work I consider critical reading. We have to admit (this is why I blogged FEDMINE a few times) that our government far outclasses the individual workers in access to liquid cash (i.e., they can contract), and in timely and more accurate database as to what they are doing.
There needs to be more people working TOGETHER on this project (in every county of every single state in the united states) and we also need to keep track of how many various component units of government, and authorities (i.e., s
pecial districts, etc.) are being created nationwide. We do not realize how entrenched we are in committing economic suicide on a massive scale — and how passive and disarmed (emotionally, intellectually, and –which is the primary weapon, backed by force where necessary — economically).
The language of economics and accounting is no longer optional for average Americans. We are taught to think wages, unemployment benefit, retirement, paycheck and JOBS. This is not how profits are made, and until we leverage INFORMATION (at least organized locally) — it’s a mismatch.
But I’d say the same thing (in maybe a different tone) either way. Wake the Hell Up!
- CAFR SCHOOL: How Corporations Are Funded By Taxpayers (excerpted paragraphs here):
- by Clint Richardson
For months and months I poured over these financial statements for the various types of government municipal corporations, attempting to comprehend the almost foreign creative accounting language and legalese that was presented within – which was sure to drive off even the most ardent of researchers. {{LGH Note — I just started this process, although I’d been looking at financial statements and tax returns, etc., earlier. But this is a new language for me also. If we can do it, you can do it!}} But for some reason, as frustrating as that learning curve was, I persisted. And finally, after so many years of being blinded by that unseen hand, I can at last see my nemesis…
No wonder the average Joe can’t get ahead!
I have been asked several times to explain how banks, weapons manufacturers, insurance companies, investment holdings companies, health and pharmaceutical corporations, and essentially the entire corporate business structure of the world is funded – why do private corporations have so much extra money to expand, to buy other corporations, and to just in general play around with? How do banks come up with the capital to mortgage the entirety of the salable lands of the world? And where does that money come from in the first place?
As it turns out, the people of the United States are paying for this through their own sheer ignorance of where their own taxpayer money is being taken and invested. And this of all ironies is the most destructive reality for the very people who lack the knowledge of their own governments’ grand conspiracy through its investment fund scheme.
And today, I’m here to wake you the hell up!
I saw this the long hard way, tracking backwards from nonprofits servicing the courts (ca. 2009) and running their policy — and downwards from TAGGS.hhs.gov — which is where it got really interesting. But all I could see, really (and I did blog it) was that the tax system itself (i.e., centralized wealth) was the problem.
We tend to think “nonprofit” means somehow, “not profitable” (see Phoebe factoids — or start reading tax returns to figure that one out) and this is OK with all of us because they are helping handle social services problems which otherwise WE would have to personally handle. Better to let the government handle it, right? (I’m going to have to say — wrong.)
I finally came to accept that nonprofits are not (at all) accountable to their clients — only their articles of incorporation and funders. Some may have nice altruistic ideas and really help people, and others are crooks. And you can’t tell by looking at their tax status — you have to actually look at the organization. . . . .
Please understand that the speed of transactions and wealth transfer has accelerated and there is an economic war on and most of you were not in on the strategic planning of it.
Preserving social status needs to be a lower priority. Find some spare time and start looking these things up, if you are helping fund the same government that’s jeopardizing the lives and safety of — literally many times — your neighbors! And for most, social status isn’t preservable anyhow, except to the extent they cooperate with starving out the rest of us (those on the economic fringes). If you’re comfortable with witnessing and enabling this, then stop reading here and plan a future that’s based on how things were a decade or a generation ago.
Welfare change of 1996 speeded up centralized collective government — if you consider where the US government (federal) actually gets $4 billion to spend on only support — it’s a little frightening. And understanding economic matters (and particularly changes in the past 15-20 years or so) is no longer optional. This is a matter of not just sounding the alarm, but putting a countering policy into place, in order to avoid genocide, in the not too distant future.
Here’s another, one-piece summary of the past 100 years asserting that we are heading into World War III, and saying why. Coherently…… I hate to mention this, but there are SEVERAL prophesies in the Bible which sound a lot like what’s described here.
The post shows some animosity towards Israel as a state. I feel uncomfortable with it, but do not have a problem with the ECONOMIC analysis put forth here about the series of wars we’re in. You don’t get this fast a summary (in one post) too often, that makes any sense!
Look at ca. Revelation 19 — it’s talking about the destruction of Babylon and it speaks almost exclusively in terms of an economic empire — merchants, etc. etc. I only put that out as a possibility.
Here’s the summary — and it’s in economic terms. (When the Bible says, “the love of money is the root of all evil” I’d like to agree that genocide is a form of evil, for sure, whether by starvation, war, or etc.).
A short summary like this (read the whole post, please!) is a rarety. Being from a blogger, it’s an opinion. Its the sequence of events that should be read (he goes “war by war” with turning points in currency & banks, and presidents).
The Federal Reserve From Creation in 1913 To Destruction in 2013
Posted on April 1, 2012
The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 to do four things which the FED is still engaged in today. The Panic of 1907 was caused by speculators who used borrowed money to buy stock and by bucket shops which defrauded investors. The Monetary Reform Commission run by Senator Nelson Aldrich wanted an elastic currency so the financial blunders of the 0.1% could be covered up by passing the costs onto the 99.9% through inflation. An elastic currency also allowed the costs of wars to be disguised by inflation.
The Federal Reserve also set up a fractional reserve banking system which permitted ten dollars to be loaned out for every one in deposit.
This intentionally created an exaggerated credit cycle so bankers could profit from the wild swings in the prices of stocks and mortgages.
And finally the Federal Reserve Note is an interest bearing currency which requires us to give the banks 500 billion dollars a year in interest payments for debts which are fictions created by a law passed in 1913.The Federal Reserve was designed to transfer our wealth to the bankers.
Ramifications: Money is worth less, harder to buy real estate, the mortgage is assigned to the bank (who then sells that debt off) and is to be repaid with the shrinking dollar, while taxes are raised from year to year (from 1947 forward, it seems the “CAFR” system of financial accounting, with media blackout on its existence, assures that most of the public is clueless about the collective assets of “government” (ALL levels, from Feds down to municipal — AND government entities, authorities, enterprise entities, and so forth; special districts (including school districts, water & sewer districts, health districts, you name it). One great way to lose property is to be unable to pay the taxes on it. Enter the assessors. then the property is sold off for its tax lien (a booming business, right) or at a sheriff’s sale. These are pooled etc. And this is just not accidental, and our collective responsibility and hope is to “the Fed” to save the economy? Puh-leeze!
Many puzzles can be explained, it turns out, looking at tax assessors office and paying more attention to who owns your local real estate. HUD does not want us to think about this or figure it out, which is why Catherine Austin Fitts was prosecuted and persecuted (they found nothing, but her wealth was plundered defending Hamilton Securities, a software which tracked mortgage defaults by GEOGRAPHY, and this also revealed a parallel between HUD properties and drug traffick. Her story is KEY information about the United States of America and every American (people living here) should be aware of it; it affects paychecks and future.)
I DID THIS RE: LACKAWANNA COUNTY, PA:
- Go to a local tax assessor’s (online?), and find a few properties owned by a major bank, and then search ALL the properties in the county (or database) owned by that bank, and probably you’ll find at some point in time, that bank also got bought out or merged to one back in D.C. or NYC.
- Then go to the recorder of deeds (again, helpful if you can do this online) and track a single property back a few people. Then go to the web and look at sales price wildly veering and see if you don’t come up with some judges, or attorneys, or both, in ownership. I did that in Scranton (Lackawanna County), PA it was an eyeopener. All of a sudden, major mortgages are being paid in full every two years or so.
- In a few cases I looked at, the person on the deed also was on the board of the bank. So — were those real loans or fake loans? Then property is bought collectively with, say a politician or a judge / attorney on the name, and someone has a relative -so it’s sold to someone in the partnership for — $1.00. Then I’d see in zillow.com (or when searching the street address of a property), some real estate sites actually give an interactive data map of a property, compared to a zip code, compared to the city. When the property is veering wildly HIGH then LOW (while the zip code isn’t), this seems to correlate to who got it for a steal, appraised really high, then sold off.
That’s real money made in those transactions, and another common word for it is called stealing. I’m still new at looking at this, but can see enough to know it’s not a smart thing to ignore — and that’s a sign of the times. No way are your wages going to keep up with this, and that, friend, describes what’s going on around the courts (esp. family courts). It affects the entire country — and brings down the ethics of us ALL because we pay some of those public employees (when they’re involved in such transfers) salaries.
People not wanting to deal with this, think about it, our put a few hours into getting a grip on it — are part of the problem in our country, as I was also — not really knowing my own government.
How’d you like to “not know your government” (basic operations) and then call up on it for some help in a time of serious need? If what you know about your government does NOT contain some corporate & real estate basics — only brick & mortar buildings, taken for granted institutions, word of mouth, and the evening (or print or online) news reports — you don’t know government, and do not know your own (or you neighbor’s) safety risk, unless, perhaps, you already live in a high-crime area.
Another paragraph from “Fed 1913 to 2013, same link” Judge for yourself — all I’m doing is reblogging it:
(The Federal Reserve From Creation in 1913 To Destruction in 2013, cont’d.)
The Bretton Woods Conference of July 1944 was held by 44 Allies under the auspices of the UN. It tied all currencies to the US dollar. It also set up the IMF which most in the Third World and increasing numbers of Greeks, Irishmen, Italians and many other Europeans would agree are blood sucking imperialists. The IMF in recent years stole more than 20 billion dollars from the Irish people and has given nothing in return. That same conference also created the World Bank which for example forbade the Egyptians to develop a self sufficient agricultural system so it would be dependent on Imperial powers. The Bretton Woods system of monetary relations worked very well for the banks of London and Wall Street until August 15, 1971 when President Nixon took America off the Gold Exchange standard.
Michael Hudson in his book Super Imperialism described how the US was funding its wars by inflating the supply of currency used to settle trade. . . .
{{{I just looked up Michael Hudson on Wikipedia and recommend others do. One paragraph from there:
His forthcoming book, The Fictitious Economy, tries to explain to general readers how a corrosive bubble economy is replacing industrial capitalism via debt-financed, asset price inflation with the main purpose of increasing balance-sheet net worth, benefiting a select few[n 2] while spreading risk among the general population.}}}
Since the passage of NAFTA in 1994 and the subsequent devaluation of the Chinese yuan, America shipped 50,000 manufacturing plants overseas. This forever made economic recovery of the real economy impossible. In 1996 the head of CalPERS (California Public Employees’ Retirement System) told Catherine Austin Fitts that there was no point in investing to rebuild America because the decision had already been made to take America down. Subsequently Catherine who used to be the managing partner at Dillon Read Investment bank had a conversation with another high level funds manager. They had both independently come to the same conclusion. There was so much money being stolen from Americans by Wall Street that the only solution to the problem of missing pension funds, savings and retirement accounts was genocide. Wall Street would have to kill tens of millions of Americans because the tens of trillions they stole could never be returned.
Lest anyone think bankers are dull but honest men please consider the testimony of a former DEA agent who said it was impossible to get Federal Reserve co-operation in money laundering cases against the Too Big To Jail banks. . . .
In 1999 the final two nails in the coffin of the world economy was driven by Wall Street and the politicians they owned. They repealed the Glass Steagall Act of 1933 which had protected depositors from the wild speculations of investment bankers by separating the two types of banks.. . .
At the bottom of the post here (searching for some “Catherine Austin Fitts” reference) I found another plain old blog that tells the straight truth — collectively our assets (i.e., the holders of debt on things that exist in the USA — like, real estate, businesses, possibly infrastructure, and various public structures — could be anywhere in the world, and is all over the world. As the US has treated other areas of the world, I see no reason to believe it would treat “its own” any better once full control has been extracted from enough people so that resistance is impossible. How has the US been treating its own? Well, for one, selling off its assets and having taxpayers bail out the banks, extorting them, and lying to us by simply forgetting to mention that the collective assets (net worth) are basically enough to all but eliminate the need for current taxes.
It has also perpetuated myths that we have actually some recourse (in the larger picture) when there are crooked judges — and worked towards setting up a theocracy such that one half (49%) of the population will stay on top of the other “half” (51%), i.e., patriarchy, and with the religious leadership in bed with (taking perks from) the public by way of tax-exempt status (and grants) — no one is going to squeal, and cut off their own bread and butter. Then it sold “Children’s Rights” to the public (which they also fund) which also happens to be sometimes the precise means to traffick children, overall. It sold “Child Support” as child support, and then (see this post for more) sits on collected, pooled money (which then gets interest) and then lectures the unemployed poor on their work ethic. Etc.
There are some “canaries in the coal mine” and currently we are the ones tweeting and squawking for our lives, and looking very smudged (socially unacceptable). Find a metaphor or system of symbols that works for you — one that fits the facts — if that doesn’t work.
We have now different segments of society — those extorted or put out on the streets through the courts, or criminal system, who have something of a grip on what America’s like — and those who are gainfully employed, stable, and in this manner supporting (by taxes) severe expansion of an abusive government at all levels.
We’re all on information overload, but this information is critical — and if I’d had it on separating from abuse, I would rather have begged on a streetcorner til work picked up — then trusted anyone in government to do something for me that no neighbors, employers, police officers (for that matter), religious institutions, or my own family of origin saw fit to do — and that’s stand up to family violence, first of all, so when a married parent is working, that work is not sabotaged either. And thereafter, socially pressure that guy to maintain work and continue supporting his kids.
What do we do instead? Leave it to Beaver, I guess — go to our jobs, let the employers (as their duty is) shear off the top taxes — income taxes, pay into social security (hoping to have something when we retire, or an unemployment account) and in short — we work, and let someone else, manage the POOLED money.
And because we need to earn wages (that money is taken from regularly, across the board (relatively speaking) and has been for decades in the US — we also send our children (most of them) to public schools where they can’t learn about accounting, government, law (etc.) or they’d know enough about public schools not to be supporting them. In other words, after decades of accepting this model for MOST of America, it turns out that the REST of America has been operating on a far different model (and most likely not sending their kids to public schools, by and large). The real purpose of this model of schooling (as opposed to other equally valid one) is values indoctrination, and babysitting for keeping parents in jobs, and kids in front of teachers, which is also good for the many, many supporting businesses (think about what it takes to maintain the grounds, landscape, cafeterias, etc. etc.) — and when enrollment DROPS, as it sometimes does, school structures are closed — it’s not exactly the most flexible paradigm around — or responsive to changing marketplace, demographics, or almost anything else.
ANYHOW — I quote this site “johnnypumphandle” a lot — although it’s basically a single site dealing primarily in California (though not exclusively) and over a limited time period. However, it happens to have landed on some very critical and revealing cases and systems and described them in a way the “powers that be” refuse to acknowledge.
It’s no longer OK (collectively) for people to just work, school, go home, go back to work and hope that things will be OK long enough to get the kids to college — or us through retirement.
COLLECTIVELY some sectors — and not necessarily government employees, but overall “government” – is living royally as a corporation with massive net worth and collected assets. Guess what it’s doing with these assets? investing them all over the world (that’s literally) to help run countries, and/or corporations – and utilizing working people as a material “human resource” department for itself, to extract the maximum income from them.
This is done in part through the presumed differences between Republicans and Democrats every four years (it’s far less overall than the differences between Congressmen and their constituents), and a media blackout on the MOST important information for us to know — which includes how much money they are holding and what they are doing with it.
VP Joe Biden stating loudly: “Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is Alive!”
And remember to sideline or characterize as eccentrics those who believe the world trade tower collapse was a planned event, and that there are unanswered questions. Or that Osama bin Laden is the major threat to world peace, and not, for example, US. I mean, the USA.
Before the end of this post, another blogger (just found it) “vidrebel” will comment on this also.
Please review these documents… and remember that while the record on this site cuts off ca. 1999 (as to the child support part) it must be significant –as this was one of two major cases which appears to have got Mr. Fine in hot water with local and state government.(Los Angeles County Men’s Jail).
Suppose at the time he discovered the millions being held in a “special account” by a Los Angeles District Attorney (Gil Garcetti, who was then sued in “Silva v. Garcetti”) enough other people had known how to look at a “Comprehensive Annual Financial Report,” regularly identify the “special accounts” and be spared all the fiscal losses to the average taxpayer?
As follows:
Walter Burien’s (recent/2012) “Dear John” letter (name anonymized) on having been asked by a certain man to do that man’s own local homework –instead of figuring it out himself (clear instructions are available and it’s NOT rocket science!). (link is right above, here). I believe Burien completed making his point by including a youtube of “Teletubbies” as this appears to be more interesting than taking responsibility for following the local money, i.e. CHANGING ONE”S HABITS AND OUTLOOK:
Now that you have your local government’s Annual Financial Report in your hands, a document you were not supposed to see in the first place, what is the first thing you do? ANSWER: You have asked someone else to look at it and count marbles in someone else’s bag for you. How many marbles in the bag may be important, how they got and are maintained there is what really is important….It is your back-yard and you should take the time to look and see what jumps out at you. I would suggest reading the notes to the financial section first to spot those specialty funds designated for x purpose that you never knew existed in the first place.Numbers are important but the motive; intent; and what was done out of oppertunity from your local government players by having the key to the vault in their hands is what is important and how the numbers got there in the first place. So look and learn. Share what you learn with your neighbors, friends, and business associates having them do the same.In every venue across the country for decades government attorneys have been cutting deals behind closed doors to take money from the population in any fashion or through whatever scheme they can think up. Babies have diapers changed for them, adults maintain or change the world. So now that you know where to look, look at your local government(s) Annual Financial Report the CAFR and learn. Then maybe you can maintain or change the landscape of your own back-yard..
What [affects] the appearance of your own back yard?
ANSWER: The City; County; School District; Enterprise; Pension; local government investment pool; and >>> Court System<<< CAFRs.
I will note that individually and collectively for your local government there is an inflow of money and standing investment capital involved each day that is more than Midas ever dreamed about.
AGAIN, look and learn.
In the event you are not an adult yet where easy entertainment is the objective, then I would suggest the TV Guide or a YouTube that over 12-million individuals have watched to date – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC1tikkotVU

JOHNNYPUMPHANDLE’S SUMMARY OF THE RICHARD FINE & CHILD SUPPORT SITUATION,
FROM 1999. With link to the Silva v. Garcetti case. (in blue-background = quotation)
Suit Filed Against Garcetti – Children and parents are deprived of $25 million
LA Times – April 1999 – LA Child Support Ranks Last in the State
LA Times – May 1999 – Taxpayers may have to pay up to $4.3 Billion in penalties
LA Times – Sept 1999 – Judge rules that this case cannot be dismissed.
The real problem here is that many schemes exist throughout the country spending billions of dollars trying to collect child support payments from dislocated parents. In almost all cases, the cost of this collection effort exceeds the payments collected – by magnitudes! Not only are the kids not getting the support they deserve, but the opportunity for corruption is so wide open that even the money collected never reaches the children or the parents that are trying to support them.
The LA County case was started by a parent, John Silva, paying support but finding out that the money was not reaching the other parent. His payments weren’t even credited to him! A request to his bank produced copies of the checks showing they were deposited to the County, but not credited to Child Support payments in his account. In our investigations, Richard Fine was contacted, who has taken the case and is pressing to get the LA County Dist. Attorney to release these payments.
Counties all across the U.S. are using the same scheme to collect from so called “Deadbeat Dads”, because the notion seems to be the right thing to do. Please believe us – since it is difficult to cross-check whether the money is reaching the other parent – the collection process is nothing more than a wide open opportunity for corruption.
Last month, Kathleen Parker, reported in the Orlando Sentinel that Florida spent $4.5 Million last year on Child Support Collection and collected a grand total of $162,000. The state hired two firms – Lockheed Martin, IMS and Maximus, Inc – to collect the money owed by Deadbeat Dads. Instead, these two firms pocketed $4.5 million and (supposedly) paid out $162,000 to the families that were needy. Read the Sentinel article.
This matter was brought to the attention of the LA County Board of Supervisors at their meeting on December 3, 1998 by the writer. Perhaps the suit will uncover where all this money is going!
The entire text of this suit has been provided here so that other individuals in other counties can see what it takes to get their funds moving in the right direction.
Another blog (I just found now) summarizing what Catherine Austin Fitts has been reporting — and it requires that (the rest of us) start understanding what are mortgages, securities, mortgage-backed securities (what, for that matter is “A Security” — what is the SEC about, etc.).
When HUD (as was alleged and i believe admitted in 1990s?) loses track electronically of $59 BILLION — then this is not “business as normal” and our own lives need to respond. Or, when Los Angeles County withholds ca. $25 million (accumulating interest etc.) (and then the whole system goes statewide, which is now in California coming apart at the seams – I mean the AOC is in trouble for being overbloated, for a statewide computer system failure and cost overrun, etc. —
What I’m saying is ALL the handwriting is on the wall here, or more and more of it — and this is a true David v. Goliath situation. David was successful because he knew the name of his God (Cause), knew what an affront that taunt was (Goliath) and ALSO knew that the traditional armor (which didn’t fit him) — would not get the job done, and might get him killed.
To tell the truth, I can’t think of ANY court jurisdiction or venue I’d walk into and expect anything regarding justice in any matter. I think the only way tot justice (without going criminal onesself or violent) is to identify economic leverage and regain ground lost. To do this one must understand the other’s strategic plan(s) and overall goal — and also be able to translate the propaganda. It is not going to be a comfortable place to stand — but as of now, there’s less and less free ground to even camp out on.
It’s not as though there aren’t plenty of experts around who are also good communicators. But I’m going to give — at great risk here, perhaps — a generalized statement: if the person shows up talking on TV — probably what they’re talking about is less relevant than those who DON’T get on TV (or in mainstream press, by and large). These are all owned corporations.
There is an endgame after stealing Americana assets and outsourcing the jobs, for those still living here (and in this matter we also have to seriously question the role of privatized prisons, or things like “Corrections Corporation of America” being so politically involved.
_ _ _ This is a general alert, and I actually can’t handle talking about this topic more today, it has not been a good week overall, and in trying to plan a solvent and (physically) safe future these days, I’m coming up without a viable plan. So you may not get many more alerts — see the people I’m recommending for more information. Burien, Fitts, etc. I also like the (admittedly odd-ball and eclectic) wordpress blog “realitybloger.wordpress.com” which is where I first< heard about CAFRs.
Catherine Austin Fitts On Genocide And The Looting Of America
There are 290,000 articles on the Internet which include the full name of Catherine Austin Fitts and of these 144,000 are Youtube videos. Yet until today not one article included the word genocide though Catherine did warn us that the government wants to kill us. They stole our money and do not want to make restitution.
Catherine Austin Fitts was a Wall Street banker who rose through the ranks to become managing director at Dillon Read Investment bank. She resigned and became Housing Secretary under George Bush in 1989. She left to found Hamilton Securities which made money in the mortgage housing market. She was investigated and indicted 19 times and was eventually run out of Washington DC. Attempts were made on her life. She was persecuted for excessive honesty and had to retreat to a small town in Tennessee. She emerged on the Internet as a leading spokeswoman for the resistance to the New World Order.
In 1994 both of the political parties owned by Wall Street managed to pass NAFTA which sent 50,000 manufacturing plants overseas. Since Wall Street knew the people who had jobs and bought homes were soon to lose their jobs due to NAFTA, we can easily conclude that those home loans were fraudulently induced which nullifies the contracts.
The bankers took this fraud a step further and bundled home loans into mortgage backed securities which were designed to fail. {{that’s how real estate is transferred into non-local hands}}. They bought Credit Default Swaps (CDS) to make it appear that these bonds were valid investment vehicles. It is illegal to sell a worthless security. CDS are unregulated and only appear to insure a worthless bond as the seller of a CDS is not required to set aside funds to pay for losses as would a fire insurance company . . .
My regular readers know that Ben Bernanke at the FED has created at least ten trillion dollars to date to buy back fraudulent MBS from the Europeans to keep the New York banks out of jail. We will pay for that money printing to cover fraud with higher food and gasoline prices. Many will not survive as the price of food rises beyond their reach.
In 1997 Catherine talked to the head of CALPERS (The California Public Employees’ Retirement System), who told her that he could not invest in her plans to rebuild America because the decision had been made to take America down and pull the money out of America. *** It was just 4 years later that the Department of Defense reported they could not trace 2.3 trillion dollars.
*** If anyone locates this conversation, or more information about it, on the internet, please contact me by comment (with a link) IMMEDIATELY, as I did some looking at CALPERS and PERS (Pennsylvania’s) recently.
Catherine talked to a friend in New York about genocide at the time Clinton and his co-conspirators in the Republican party repealed Glass Steagall. This allowed deposit banks to behave like investment banks which is to say just like criminals. This exposed us all to unwarranted risk. How could JP Morgan have 90 trillion dollars of exposure in CDS and derivatives without impoverishing both their customers and the pension funds they managed? Alan Greenspan was of the opinion that fraud need not be regulated. That competition would eliminate fraud was not historically evident was of no concern.
. . .
The video below ((See site I linked to) is an interview in which Catherine explains this in one setting. Please pay attention when she talks about reform, transparency, food and slavery. Your life depends upon your ability to spread the truth about what she is saying.
- Understanding The Contractual Relationship (opening paragraph — read til you “get it,” please!)
- In my last post, “To Protect And Serve” (link), we discussed the nature of the contractual relationship between the people and government. The importance of this relationship cannot be understated, as the authority and jurisdiction of government CODE, legal requirements, licenses, taxation, imprisonment, and everything else that is forced upon the people is done so through contract. And force is used upon the people when the stipulations of a legal contract are not met and the people decide to not cooperate with the law enforcement officers who protect and serve the people on behalf of government. As we discussed, protecting and serving does not mean protecting and serving your God-given natural rights, but instead it means to enforce the law through the protection of its continuity and uniformity, as well as to serve you with arrest, summons, process, and notices. To protect does not mean to defend you, and to serve does not mean to be hospitable to you or help you

This concept shouldn’t be too hard to understand, should it? Go to a local tax assessor’s (online?), and find a few properties owned by a major bank, and then search ALL the properties in the county (or database) owned by that bank, and probably you’ll find at some point in time, that bank also got bought out or merged to one back in D.C. or NYC.
Then go to the recorder of deeds (againg, helpful if you can do this online) and track a single property back a few people. Then go to the web and look at sales price wildly veering and see if you don’t come up with some judges, or attorneys, or both, in ownership. I did that in Scranton (Lackawanna County), PA it was an eyeopener. All of a sudden, major mortgages are being paid in full every two years or so.
In a few cases I looked at, the person on the deed also was on the board of the bank. So — were those real loans or fake loans? Then property is bought collectively with, say a politician or a judge / attorney on the name, and someone has a relative -so it’s sold to someone in the partnership for — $1.00. Then I’d see in zillow.com (or when searching the street address of a property), some real estate sites actually give an interactive data map of a property, compared to a zip code, compared to the city. When the property is veering wildly HIGH then LOW (while the zip code isn’t), this seems to correlate to who got it for a steal, appraised really high, then sold off.
That’s real money made in those transactions, and another common word for it is called stealing. I’m still new at looking at this, but can see enough to know it’s not a smart thing to ignore — and that’s a sign of the times. No way are your wages going to keep up with this, and that, friend, describes what’s going on around the courts (esp. family courts). It affects the entire country — and brings down the ethics of us ALL because we pay some of those public employees (when they’re involved in such transfers) salaries.
Another paragraph from “Fed 1913 to 2013.” Judge for yourself — all I’m doing is reblogging it:
The Bretton Woods Conference of July 1944 was held by 44 Allies under the auspices of the UN. It tied all currencies to the US dollar. It also set up the IMF which most in the Third World and increasing numbers of Greeks, Irishmen, Italians and many other Europeans would agree are blood sucking imperialists. The IMF in recent years stole more than 20 billion dollars from the Irish people and has given nothing in return. That same conference also created the World Bank which for example forbade the Egyptians to develop a self sufficient agricultural system so it would be dependent on Imperial powers. The Bretton Woods system of monetary relations worked very well for the banks of London and Wall Street until August 15, 1971 when President Nixon took America off the Gold Exchange standard.
Michael Hudson in his book Super Imperialism described how the US was funding its wars by inflating the supply of currency used to settle trade. . . .
Since the passage of NAFTA in 1994 and the subsequent devaluation of the Chinese yuan, America shipped 50,000 manufacturing plants overseas. This forever made economic recovery of the real economy impossible. In 1996 the head of CalPERS (California Public Employees’ Retirement System) told Catherine Austin Fitts that there was no point in investing to rebuild America because the decision had already been made to take America down. Subsequently Catherine who used to be the managing partner at Dillon Read Investment bank had a conversation with another high level funds manager. They had both independently come to the same conclusion. There was so much money being stolen from Americans by Wall Street that the only solution to the problem of missing pension funds, savings and retirement accounts was genocide. Wall Street would have to kill tens of millions of Americans because the tens of trillions they stole could never be returned.
Lest anyone think bankers are dull but honest men please consider the testimony of a former DEA agent who said it was impossible to get Federal Reserve co-operation in money laundering cases against the Too Big To Jail banks. . . .
In 1999 the final two nails in the coffin of the world economy was driven by Wall Street and the politicians they owned. They repealed the Glass Steagall Act of 1933 which had protected depositors from the wild speculations of investment bankers by separating the two types of banks.. . .
At the bottom of the post here (searching for some “Catherine Austin Fitts” reference) I found another plain old blog that tells the straight truth — collectively our assets (i.e., the holders of debt on things that exist in the USA — like, real estate, businesses, possibly infrastructure, and various public structures — could be anywhere in the world, and is all over the world. As the US has treated other areas of the world, I see no reason to believe it would treat “its own” any better once full control has been extracted from enough people so that resistance is impossible. How has the US been treating its own? Well, for one, selling off its assets and having taxpayers bail out the banks, extorting them, and lying to us by simply forgetting to mention that the collective assets (net worth) are basically enough to all but eliminate the need for current taxes.
It has also perpetuated myths that we have actually some recourse (in the larger picture) when there are crooked judges — and worked towards setting up a theocracy such that one half (49%) of the population will stay on top of the other “half” (51%), i.e., patriarchy, and with the religious leadership in bed with (taking perks from) the public by way of tax-exempt status (and grants) — no one is going to squeal, and cut off their own bread and butter. Then it sold “Children’s Rights” to the public (which they also fund) which also happens to be sometimes the precise means to traffick children, overall. It sold “Child Support” as child support, and then (see this post for more) sits on collected, pooled money (which then gets interest) and then lectures the unemployed poor on their work ethic. Etc.
There are some “canaries in the coal mine” and currently we are the ones tweeting and squawking for our lives, and looking very smudged (socially unacceptable). Find a metaphor or system of symbols that works for you — one that fits the facts — if that doesn’t work.
We have now different segments of society — those extorted or put out on the streets through the courts, or criminal system, who have something of a grip on what America’s like — and those who are gainfully employed, stable, and in this manner supporting (by taxes) severe expansion of an abusive government at all levels.
We’re all on information overload, but this information is critical — and if I’d had it on separating from abuse, I would rather have begged on a streetcorner til work picked up — then trusted anyone in government to do something for me that no neighbors, employers, police officers (for that matter), religious institutions, or my own family of origin saw fit to do — and that’s stand up to family violence, first of all, so when a married parent is working, that work is not sabotaged either. And thereafter, socially pressure that guy to maintain work and continue supporting his kids.
What do we do instead? Leave it to Beaver, I guess — go to our jobs, let the employers (as their duty is) shear off the top taxes — income taxes, pay into social security (hoping to have something when we retire, or an unemployment account) and in short — we work, and let someone else, manage the POOLED money.
And because we need to earn wages (that money is taken from regularly, across the board (relatively speaking) and has been for decades in the US — we also send our children (most of them) to public schools where they can’t learn about accounting, government, law (etc.) or they’d know enough about public schools not to be supporting them. In other words, after decades of accepting this model for MOST of America, it turns out that the REST of America has been operating on a far different model (and most likely not sending their kids to public schools, by and large). The real purpose of this model of schooling (as opposed to other equally valid one) is values indoctrination, and babysitting for keeping parents in jobs, and kids in front of teachers, which is also good for the many, many supporting businesses (think about what it takes to maintain the grounds, landscape, cafeterias, etc. etc.) — and when enrollment DROPS, as it sometimes does, school structures are closed — it’s not exactly the most flexible paradigm around — or responsive to changing marketplace, demographics, or almost anything else.
ANYHOW — I quote this site “johnnypumphandle” a lot — although it’s basically a single site dealing primarily in California (though not exclusively) and over a limited time period. However, it happens to have landed on some very critical and revealing cases and systems and described them in a way the “powers that be” refuse to acknowledge.
It’s no longer OK (collectively) for people to just work, school, go home, go back to work and hope that things will be OK long enough to get the kids to college — or us through retirement.
COLLECTIVELY some sectors — and not necessarily government employees, but overall “government” – is living royally as a corporation with massive net worth and collected assets. Guess what it’s doing with these assets? investing them all over the world (that’s literally) to help run countries, and/or corporations – and utilizing working people as a material “human resource” department for itself, to extract the maximum income from them.
This is done in part through the presumed differences between Republicans and Democrats every four years (it’s far less overall than the differences between Congressmen and their constituents), and a media blackout on the MOST important information for us to know — which includes how much money they are holding and what they are doing with it.
VP Joe Biden stating loudly: “Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is Alive!”
And remember to sideline or characterize as eccentrics those who believe the world trade tower collapse was a planned event, and that there are unanswered questions. Or that Osama bin Laden is the major threat to world peace, and not, for example, US. I mean, the USA.
Before the end of this post, another blogger (just found it) “vidrebel” will comment on this also.
Please review these documents… and remember that while the record on this site cuts off ca. 1999 (as to the child support part) it must be significant –as this was one of two major cases which appears to have got Mr. Fine in hot water with local and state government.(Los Angeles County Men’s Jail).
Suppose at the time he discovered the millions being held in a “special account” by a Los Angeles District Attorney (Gil Garcetti, who was then sued in “Silva v. Garcetti”) enough other people had known how to look at a “Comprehensive Annual Financial Report,” regularly identify the “special accounts” and be spared all the fiscal losses to the average taxpayer?
As follows:
Walter Burien’s (recent/2012) “Dear John” letter (name anonymized) on having been asked by a certain man to do that man’s own local homework –instead of figuring it out himself (clear instructions are available and it’s NOT rocket science!). (link is right above, here). I believe Burien completed making his point by including a youtube of “Teletubbies” as this appears to be more interesting than taking responsibility for following the local money, i.e. CHANGING ONE”S HABITS AND OUTLOOK:
Now that you have your local government’s Annual Financial Report in your hands, a document you were not supposed to see in the first place, what is the first thing you do? ANSWER: You have asked someone else to look at it and count marbles in someone else’s bag for you. How many marbles in the bag may be important, how they got and are maintained there is what really is important….
It is your back-yard and you should take the time to look and see what jumps out at you. I would suggest reading the notes to the financial section first to spot those specialty funds designated for x purpose that you never knew existed in the first place.Numbers are important but the motive; intent; and what was done out of oppertunity from your local government players by having the key to the vault in their hands is what is important and how the numbers got there in the first place. So look and learn. Share what you learn with your neighbors, friends, and business associates having them do the same.In every venue across the country for decades government attorneys have been cutting deals behind closed doors to take money from the population in any fashion or through whatever scheme they can think up.Babies have diapers changed for them, adults maintain or change the world. So now that you know where to look, look at your local government(s) Annual Financial Report the CAFR and learn. Then maybe you can maintain or change the landscape of your own back-yard.. What effects the appearance of your own back yard?
ANSWER: The City; County; School District; Enterprise; Pension; local government investment pool; and >>> Court System<<< CAFRs.
I will note that individually and collectively for your local government there is an inflow of money and standing investment capital involved each day that is more than Midas ever dreamed about.
AGAIN, look and learn.
In the event you are not an adult yet where easy entertainment is the objective, then I would suggest the TV Guide or a YouTube that over 12-million individuals have watched to date – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC1tikkotVU

JOHNNYPUMPHANDLE’S SUMMARY OF THE RICHARD FINE & CHILD SUPPORT SITUATION, FROM 1999.
Suit Filed Against Garcetti – Children and parents are deprived of $25 million
LA Times – April 1999 – LA Child Support Ranks Last in the State
LA Times – May 1999 – Taxpayers may have to pay up to $4.3 Billion in penalties
LA Times – Sept 1999 – Judge rules that this case cannot be dismissed.
The real problem here is that many schemes exist throughout the country spending billions of dollars trying to collect child support payments from dislocated parents. In almost all cases, the cost of this collection effort exceeds the payments collected – by magnitudes! Not only are the kids not getting the support they deserve, but the opportunity for corruption is so wide open that even the money collected never reaches the children or the parents that are trying to support them.
The LA County case was started by a parent, John Silva, paying support but finding out that the money was not reaching the other parent. His payments weren’t even credited to him! A request to his bank produced copies of the checks showing they were deposited to the County, but not credited to Child Support payments in his account. In our investigations, Richard Fine was contacted, who has taken the case and is pressing to get the LA County Dist. Attorney to release these payments.
Counties all across the U.S. are using the same scheme to collect from so called “Deadbeat Dads”, because the notion seems to be the right thing to do. Please believe us – since it is difficult to cross-check whether the money is reaching the other parent – the collection process is nothing more than a wide open opportunity for corruption.
Last month, Kathleen Parker, reported in the Orlando Sentinel that Florida spent $4.5 Million last year on Child Support Collection and collected a grand total of $162,000. The state hired two firms – Lockheed Martin, IMS and Maximus, Inc – to collect the money owed by Deadbeat Dads. Instead, these two firms pocketed $4.5 million and (supposedly) paid out $162,000 to the families that were needy. Read the Sentinel article.
This matter was brought to the attention of the LA County Board of Supervisors at their meeting on December 3, 1998 by the writer. Perhaps the suit will uncover where all this money is going!
The entire text of this suit has been provided here so that other individuals in other counties can see what it takes to get their funds moving in the right direction.
This is another blog (I just found now) summarizing what Catherine Austin Fitts has been reporting — and it requires that (the rest of us) start understanding what are mortgages, securities, mortgage-backed securities (what, for that matter is “A Security” — what is the SEC about, etc.).
I am only one person here, and not fully networked with people who are putting this together — where it’s heading. But I see their work, and could possibly boil it down to maybe FIVE total individuals’ work I consider critical reading. We have to admit (this is why I blogged FEDMINE a few times) that our government far outclasses the individual workers in access to liquid cash (i.e., they can contract), and in timely and more accurate database as to what they are doing.
When HUD (as was alleged and i believe admitted in 1990s?) loses track electronically of $59 BILLION — then this is not “business as normal” and our own lives need to respond. Or, when Los Angeles County withholds ca. $25 million (accumulating interest etc.) (and then the whole system goes statewide, which is now in California coming apart at the seams – I mean the AOC is in trouble for being overbloated, for a statewide computer system failure and cost overrun, etc. —
There need to be more people working TOGETHER on this project (in every county of every single state in the united states) and we also need to keep track of how many various component units of government, and authorities (i.e., special districts, etc.) are being created nationwide.
The language of economics and accounting is no longer optional for average Americans. We are taught to think wages, unemployment benefit, retirement, paycheck and JOBS. This is not how profits are made, and until we leverage INFORMATION (at least organized locally) — it’s a mismatch.
What I’m saying is ALL the handwriting is on the wall here, or more and more of it — and this is a true David v. Goliath situation. David was successful because he knew the name of his God (Cause), knew what an affront that taunt was (Goliath) and ALSO knew that the traditional armor (which didn’t fit him) — would not get the job done, and might get him killed.
To tell the truth, I can’t think of ANY court jurisdiction or venue I’d walk into and expect anything regarding justice in any matter. I think the only way tot justice (without going criminal onesself or violent) is to identify economic leverage and regain ground lost. To do this one must understand the other’s strategic plan(s) and overall goal — and also be able to translate the propaganda. It is not going to be a comfortable place to stand — but as of now, there’s less and less free ground to even camp out on.
It’s not as though there aren’t plenty of experts around who are also good communicators. But I’m going to give — at great risk here, perhaps — a generalized statement: if the person shows up talking on TV — probably what they’re talking about is less relevant than those who DON’T get on TV (or in mainstream press, by and large). These are all owned corporations.
There is an endgame after stealing Americana assets and outsourcing the jobs, for those still living here (and in this matter we also have to seriously question the role of privatized prisons, or things like “Corrections Corporation of America” being so politically involved.
_ _ _ This is a general alert, and I actually can’t handle talking about this topic more today, it has not been a good week overall, and in trying to plan a solvent and (physically) safe future these days, I’m coming up without a viable plan. So you may not get many more alerts — see the people I’m recommending for more information. Burien, Fitts, etc. I also like the (admittedly odd-ball and eclectic) wordpress blog “realitybloger.wordpress.com” which is where I first< heard about CAFRs.
Catherine Austin Fitts On Genocide And The Looting Of America
There are 290,000 articles on the Internet which include the full name of Catherine Austin Fitts and of these 144,000 are Youtube videos. Yet until today not one article included the word genocide though Catherine did warn us that the government wants to kill us. They stole our money and do not want to make restitution.
Catherine Austin Fitts was a Wall Street banker who rose through the ranks to become managing director at Dillon Read Investment bank. She resigned and became Housing Secretary under George Bush in 1989. She left to found Hamilton Securities which made money in the mortgage housing market. She was investigated and indicted 19 times and was eventually run out of Washington DC. Attempts were made on her life. She was persecuted for excessive honesty and had to retreat to a small town in Tennessee. She emerged on the Internet as a leading spokeswoman for the resistance to the New World Order.
In 1994 both of the political parties owned by Wall Street managed to pass NAFTA which sent 50,000 manufacturing plants overseas. Since Wall Street knew the people who had jobs and bought homes were soon to lose their jobs due to NAFTA, we can easily conclude that those home loans were fraudulently induced which nullifies the contracts.
The bankers took this fraud a step further and bundled home loans into mortgage backed securities which were designed to fail. {{that’s how real estate is transferred into non-local hands}}. They bought Credit Default Swaps (CDS) to make it appear that these bonds were valid investment vehicles. It is illegal to sell a worthless security. CDS are unregulated and only appear to insure a worthless bond as the seller of a CDS is not required to set aside funds to pay for losses as would a fire insurance company . . .
My regular readers know that Ben Bernanke at the FED has created at least ten trillion dollars to date to buy back fraudulent MBS from the Europeans to keep the New York banks out of jail. We will pay for that money printing to cover fraud with higher food and gasoline prices. Many will not survive as the price of food rises beyond their reach.
In 1997 Catherine talked to the head of CALPERS (The California Public Employees’ Retirement System), who told her that he could not invest in her plans to rebuild America because the decision had been made to take America down and pull the money out of America. *** It was just 4 years later that the Department of Defense reported they could not trace 2.3 trillion dollars.
*** If anyone locates this conversation, or more information about it, on the internet, please contact me by comment (with a link) IMMEDIATELY, as I did some looking at CALPERS and PERS (Pennsylvania’s) recently.
Catherine talked to a friend in New York about genocide at the time Clinton and his co-conspirators in the Republican party repealed Glass Steagall. This allowed deposit banks to behave like investment banks which is to say just like criminals. This exposed us all to unwarranted risk. How could JP Morgan have 90 trillion dollars of exposure in CDS and derivatives without impoverishing both their customers and the pension funds they managed? Alan Greenspan was of the opinion that fraud need not be regulated. That competition would eliminate fraud was not historically evident was of no concern.
. . .
The video below ((See site I linked to) is an interview in which Catherine explains this in one setting. Please pay attention when she talks about reform, transparency, food and slavery. Your life depends upon your ability to spread the truth about what she is saying.
- Understanding The Contractual Relationship (opening paragraph — read til you “get it,” please!)
- In my last post, “To Protect And Serve” (link), we discussed the nature of the contractual relationship between the people and government. The importance of this relationship cannot be understated, as the authority and jurisdiction of government CODE, legal requirements, licenses, taxation, imprisonment, and everything else that is forced upon the people is done so through contract. And force is used upon the people when the stipulations of a legal contract are not met and the people decide to not cooperate with the law enforcement officers who protect and serve the people on behalf of government. As we discussed, protecting and serving does not mean protecting and serving your God-given natural rights, but instead it means to enforce the law through the protection of its continuity and uniformity, as well as to serve you with arrest, summons, process, and notices. To protect does not mean to defend you, and to serve does not mean to be hospitable to you or help you

RE: YouTube.
I’m more of a reader, if you look at the Table of Contents here, or the posts on “CAFRs” (seems to be along the same lines), you can see what I’m doing to save quite a few things, (including the planet), and from such things as criminal syndicates posing as government — requires public participation in understanding their own identity, and government. The word “asleep” applies in too many cases.
I am in survival mode when not blogging. Would you mind stating for the non-youtube viewers (and me) what the 4 Simple Actions are? On such an important issue, how about a few minutes (like 4) to simply name them?
Also, as my “Donate Button” (which I can see was clicked) doesn’t generate a proper “Thank You,” (because this is still an anonymous blog), I say Thank You, here. It was great timing.
